Trying Altenew Acrylic Markers

Today is the day I am posting my card for our One Plus Twelve challenge in 2025.  This is year number 7.  For this challenge, we are to use just one stamp, to make a card every month and post on the 3rd of each month.  For this year, I picked a Gina K Designs set called Blooming Sunflower.  The set includes a sweet stamp set and matching dies for the image and all four of the sentiments.  I am excited that I get to use this set every month for all of 2025. 

For my card this month, I stamped the image with Versamark and used Brutus Monroe Penny Embossing Powder.  I colored the embossed panel with a newer to me medium--Altenew Acrylic Markers.  I tried to wipe off a bit of the color over some of the embossed lines.  I then die cut the image with the coordinating die.   I used a Pinkfresh Studio Diagonal Stripes w/Window Die, which I cut from white and layered three times.  I added a embossed panel from a Stampin' Up Timber folder behind the panel for dimension. The Many Thanks sentiment was embossed with the same Penny Powder and it is from the same set.  I added some Sparkling Champagne Pearls from Pinkfresh Studio around the image.
